Aimed at student teachers, educators and practitioners, Teaching
English Language to Young Learners outlines and explains the
crucial issues, themes and scenarios relating to this area of
teaching. Each chapter by a leading international scholar offers a
thorough introduction to a central theme of English as a foreign
language (EFL) with preteens, with clear presentation of the
theoretical background and detailed references for further reading,
providing access to the most recent scholarship. Exploring the
essential issues critically and in-depth, including the
disadvantages as well as advantages of Teaching English as a
Foreign Language (TEFL) with young learners, topics include: -
task-based learning in the primary school; - storytelling; - drama;
- technology; - vocabulary development; - intercultural
understanding; - Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)
scenarios; - assessment. Innovative and rapidly emerging topics are
covered, such as immersion teaching, picturebooks in the EFL
classroom and English with pre-primary children.
Covering Green's The Fault in Our Stars, Collins' The Hunger Games,
Selznick's The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Rowling's Wizarding World,
Staake's Bluebird and Winton's Lockie Leonard, contributors
consider how literature can be used for teaching literary literacy,
creative writing, intercultural learning, critical pedagogy and
deep reading in school settings where English is the teaching
medium. Leading scholars from around the world explore pedagogical
principles for English Language Teaching (ELT) widening children's
and teenagers' literacy competences as well as their horizons
through insightful engagement with texts. From challenging
picturebooks for primary and secondary students, to graphic novels,
to story apps, film and drama, as well as speculative fiction on
provocative topics, recent research on literature education in ELT
settings combines with cognitive criticism in the field of
children's, young adult and adult literature.
This book is a comprehensive and thorough introduction to
children's and young adult literature in English language
education. Reading is promoted as central to language education in
order to experience perspectives from around the world, and the
book demonstrates the many opportunities for teaching with
compelling story, encouraging an active and engaged community of
second language readers through challenging picturebooks,
motivating graphic novels, dynamic plays, enchanting verse novels
and compelling young adult fiction. Using many examples of literary
texts that are well suited to the primary or secondary classroom,
the book focuses on the advantages of deep reading and the vital
importance of in-depth learning. In-depth learning is an approach
that involves the students as motivated participants, working
collaboratively and with empathy while preparing for and
confronting the challenges of the 21st century. Illustrating the
approach with a Deep Reading Framework based in research and
theory, Janice Bland guides the reader to discover and learn how to
make use of literary texts in a way that challenges students to
become involved in interculturality, creativity and critical
literacy. Throughout the book the emphasis is on an approach that
puts the reader and language learner in the centre - not a study of
literature but a study of how readers learn through compelling
story.
Bringing together leading scholars and teacher educators from
across the world, from Europe and the USA to Asia, this book
presents the latest research and new perspectives into the uses of
children's literature in second language teaching for children and
young adults. Children's Literature in Second Language Education
covers such topics as extensive reading, creative writing in the
language classroom, the use of picturebooks and graphic novels in
second language teaching and the potential of children's literature
in promoting intercultural education. The focus throughout the book
is on creative approaches to language teaching, from early years
through to young adult learners, making this book an essential read
for those studying or embarking on second language teaching at all
levels.
Children's literature can be a powerful way to encourage and
empower EFL students but is less commonly used in the classroom
than adult literature. This text provides a comprehensive
introduction to children's and young adult literature in EFL
teaching. It demonstrates the complexity of children's literature
and how it can encourage an active community of second language
readers: with multilayered picturebooks, fairy tales, graphic
novels and radical young adult fiction. It examines the
opportunities of children's literature in EFL teacher education,
including: the intertexuality of children's literature as a
gate-opener for canonised adult literature; the rich patterning of
children's literature supporting Creative Writing; the potential of
interactive drama projects. Close readings of texts at the centre
of contemporary literary scholarship, yet largely unknown in the
EFL world, provide an invaluable guide for teacher educators and
student teachers, including works by David Almond, Anthony Browne,
Philip Pullman and J.K.Rowling. Introducing a range of genres and
their significance for EFL teaching, this study makes an important
new approach accessible for EFL teachers, student teachers and
teacher educators.
